The Indigenous Educational Studies program at Brock University's Faculty of Education prepares students to teach and work within Indigenous communities and Indigenous teaching environments. The program uses a community-based curriculum model that draws on qualified local Indigenous educators to guide students' learning and incorporates Indigenous learning preferences and cultural diversity, with a selection of courses delivered on campus. Students can pursue several credential pathways, including a Bachelor of Education in Indigenous Adult Education, a Bachelor of Education Primary/Junior (Aboriginal), a Certificate in Aboriginal Adult Education, a Minor in Indigenous Studies, and the Gidayaamin Indigenous Certificate Program. Graduates are prepared for roles such as elementary school teacher, school, community or cultural administrator, education or curriculum developer, academic advisor, and museum or gallery educational programmer. The program combines Indigenous knowledge systems with standard teacher-education training.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Three application routes lead into the Bachelor of Education in Indigenous Adult Education: Program A for applicants who already hold an undergraduate degree and are pursuing the BEd as a second degree; Program B for applicants without an undergraduate degree who have completed some post-secondary credits, hold a college diploma, or apply as a mature student; and a Certificate in Indigenous Adult Education for applicants with neither an undergraduate degree nor a college diploma. Brock awards a maximum of ten advanced standing credits toward the degree, and a three-year college diploma may be credited for up to seven undergraduate credits. All candidates must complete the five core Indigenous Adult Education credits (ABED 4F84-4F88) through Brock and maintain a minimum 60% overall average to remain in the program.
